I market the OVM/UVM, multi-language verification, and low-power simulator for Cadence, tapping 19 years of experience in verification and software engineering including roles in marketing, product management, applications engineering, and R&D. With eight consecutive Boston Marathons run on the Boston Children’s Hospital Marathon Team, I'm always ready to see who has the fastest verification on the planet!

Assertions Help Avoid Chip Melt
When asked why the use of assertions for low power is rising, I say “at 40nm and below, the chips are just going to melt.” Ann Steffora Mutschler, you quoted me perfectly in your “ Avoiding Chip Melt ” article! Assertions are just   Read More »

UVM: "Everything that Can be Invented Has Been Invented" Not True!
Much like Charles Duell's famous 1899 quote**, the notion that the Universal Verification Methodology ( UVM ) is the be-all and end-all of verification methodology is an urban legend. The new Advanced Verification Topics book dispells this myth with   Read More »

Come See How to Connect SystemVerilog and SystemC Using UVM
All pun-tastic references aside, connecting SystemVerilog and SystemC is becoming a commonplace request. In most cases, the request is to do this using UVM as the testbench methodology. One of our resident technical experts, Phu Huynh, will lead a webinar   Read More »

Automating UVM to Tackle Insidious HW/SW Bugs
You've just sat through a 2-hour program review. The 30 minutes you spent describing your sparkling new UVM verification environment were electrifying. Of course, the hardware and software reviews were boring. Blah, blah, blah about design trade-offs   Read More »

Low-power Keeps Gate-Level Simulation Forever Young
Ann Mutschler blogged in the Low-Power Engineering Community that gate-level simulation is coming back, driven in part by low-power verification needs. “In a small sense, what’s old is new” may actually be the biggest understatement   Read More »
